Texas will face the ACC Conference Tournament Champions Virginia Tech. TCU will play No. 8 seed Seton Hall. Iowa State will face No. 6 seed LSU.

The four Big 12 schools to miss out on the big dance are Oklahoma, Kansas State, West Virginia and Oklahoma State. The Sooners had a great week in Kansas City, defeating Baylor and almost upsetting Texas Tech in the semifinals. Kansas State lost to WVU in the first round of the tournament and then head coach Bruce Weber stepped down from the program. Oklahoma State was ineligible for the tournament this season after being punished for recruiting infractions from 2016 that were not under current head coach Mike Boynton.
